300 G. King and D. Pram — Descriptions of some New Plants [No. 2, 



narum longiores saepius singuli ; calyx campanulatus ad medium usque 

 fissus dentibus ovato-acutis tubum aequantibus ; corolla tubulosa fere 

 recta extus parcissime puberula, subsymmetrica, pallide purpurea; 

 capsula in pedicello erecta. 



In raontibus Kachin, apud Sim, 5,000 p. s. m., prope rivulis ; Kingii 



mercenar. 



Foliorum laminis 3 poll, longis, 1*25-1*5 poll, latis, petiolis *75 poll, 

 longis; pedunculis 1*5 poll, longis saepius 3-floris, nonnunquam 

 (floribus lateralibus geminis) 5-floris ; pedicellis '4 poll, longis ; calyce 

 •25 poll, longo; corolla 12 poll, longa ; capsula 1-1*25 poll, longa 15 

 poll. lata. 



A very distinct species, in habit most resembling D. corchorifolia 

 Wall., from Penang and Malacca. 



ACANTHACE.E. 



30. Rhinacanthus calcaratus Nees in Wall. PI. As. Bar. iii. 109 

 var. maxima Prain ; foliis utrinque parcissime puberulis, panicula 

 condensata ; corollae tubo 1*5 poll, longo; capsula 2 poll, longa. 



In montibus Kachin, Kingii mercenar. ! 



This will probably have to be considered a distinct species, Bhin- 

 acanthus maximus, when full material of the original species is obtained ; 

 as yet the fruit of Nees' plant has not been collected. The present 

 plant has leaves that are exactly like those of the type in size and 

 texture ; they only differ in being faintly puberulous on both sides, 

 those of Nees' plant being glabrous ; its calyx and corolla are exactly 

 like those of Wallich's PL As. Bar. t. 113 except that they are distinctly 

 larger. 



HAEMODORACE./E. 



31. Ophiopcgon CORdylinoides Prain; caule rigide erectiusculo, 

 crasso, nodis nee radicante, vaginibus ovatis viridibus margine late 

 scariosis mox deciduis suffulto, foliis late lanceolatis acuminatis 15-17- 

 nervis, petiolis angustis brevibus basi vaginis scariosis expansis, scapis 

 quam folia fere dimidio brevioribus, bracteis scariosis, pedicellis vix 

 longioribus, floribus fasciculatis, albidis, quam pedicellos brevioribus, 

 segmentis ovato-oblongis, antheris lanceolatis filamentis brevissimis, 

 stylo filiformi ; fructu orbiculari. 



In montibus Kachin, apud Namli, 2000 p. s. m., Pottinger ! Kingii 

 mercenar. ! 



Caulispenna cygni crassus, foliis 8-12 poll, longis, 75-1 poll, latis, 

 petiolis vix 1 poll, longis. Bacemi 3-4 poll, longi, bracteis '3 poll, longis, 

 pedicellis 25 poll, longis, perianthio 2 poll, longo, 3 poll, lato ; fructu
